IL HB3109

Medical Board must consider latest recommendations from Federation of State Medical Boards when determining mental capacity of license applicants and disciplinary cases.

License applicants inactive from medical practice for 2+ years must submit proof of professional capacity; applicants inactive for 5+ years seeking temporary licenses must also demonstrate professional capacity.

Department cannot revoke, suspend, or discipline a physician's license based solely on providing investigational drugs, experimental Lyme disease treatment, lawful health care services, or discipline from other states for providing services that would be lawful in Illinois.

Conduct specified in subsection (C) regarding lawful health care services does not trigger reporting requirements, suspension grounds, or physician profile inclusion under the Patients' Right to Know Act.

Applicants denied licensure in another state solely for providing lawful health care services cannot be denied Illinois licensure unless the Department determines the conduct would constitute professional misconduct in Illinois.
